The Rapscallion and The Reliable

By Elizabeth Briars

Being the talk of the Ton or the scandal of the season are but two sides of the same coin: one simply needs to know how to flip it.

Serena Lowing is desperate to save her sister from indentured servitude. So desperate she infiltrates a ball to attempt blackmailing notorious rake- and awful person- Edward Thompson, Earl of Ashburne. When her plan goes awry, she first ends up in his embrace in front of half of London, then as his betrothed. With dwindling options, she marries the man she hates to find some way to help her sister, by theft if it comes to it.

When tragedy strikes, Serena is alone, trying to stave off the advances of her odious husband in an ancient keep. But what if there's more to him than meets the eye?

A standalone romance from an interconnected series.
